Almost blarge

[JetMetFan]

If APG doesn't beat me to it I'll try to post when I get home from work later this morning.

I had to laugh when I watched it. The C had that "gee, I hope no one noticed me" body language when he pulled back on the PC call.

That's what I'm talking about. At that level, I don't think they fool anyone.

...talk amongst yourselves.

Steratore had no business having whistle on that play. He a whistle on an OOB later that wasn't his line and the called had to be reversed.

Agreed...for some reason the L reaches across on plays like this quite often in NCAA-M games. I really don't get it.

True. That.

On top of that, I think it's an IC. Just goes to show what happens when you reach.

And if it's the same one I'm thinking of, they got it wrong too. They conferred and gave it to Purdue. The replay showed Purdue's player caused it to go OOB.

After seeing it, what are everyone's thoughts about whether it's a blarge or not? The C was clearly going to call a PC foul, no doubt about it. Does the fact that he didn't finish the mechanic change anything?

After seeing it again, I think it's a blarge.

This will probably lead into the "when is a call actually called" argument again...

IMO, since the C did not actually signal anything (yes, he started to), I do not think it was a blarge.

I think it's a blarge too. The C is just about to finish hammering it down when he pulls his arm down like he had to suddenly scratch an itch.

Sure can't find a block in that play.

They did get it wrong but Steratore actually had it right initially. If I remember correctly it was an odd play where the lead came across with his hand up, seemingly asking for help. Steratore emphatically pointed the other way then the L indicates possession would stay on this end of the floor.

They got together and end up going with the Ls call but replays showed that was wrong. Whole thing seemed odd the way they handled it.

As for this play, Steratore absolutely needs to give the C the first crack at this.

If the Lead had asked for help or had Steratore let the Lead make his call first then brought him the info I believe they would have ended up getting it right.

These 2 plays illustrate 2 situations that should be part of our pregames.
